OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Identification of Particular Machines Sheerline Model 6 or Model 9.Which is which?

Hi everybody I have recently been shown some documents that have made me come up with a big question.Thanks to tomo4192.
As we all know there are two Sheerline models.Model 6 and 9,but really which is which?
As we have come to know the one on the left is the model 6 and right is the model 9.Or is it?


The next is a scan from the 1969-1970 green book.Which really doesn't say much at all.


However the next picture is from the 1971 reprint of the green book.
Now this clearly shows the models and which numbers correspond to which model.

Now before you say this is a miss print as I thought that as well,also some collectors also believe that.There are 2 things stop me from thinking that.
1.If it was a miss print why did no-one (like the dealers) change it.I certainly in both of my copy's of the green books have pen marks and new part numbers etc,to change to the correct information.
2.The discovery of a second document that also states we could have the models around the wrong way.Thanks again to tomo4192.



Here is a look at the second document. Now I believe this is a photo unfortunately it isn't the greatest picture,but it is clear enough.Maybe somebody else has this that would like to post it up.
You can see the victacode which shows the same in the 1971 version of the green book.
Now I know of some of you out there may get upset with this information.As I know it has been the wrong for quite a many years,but we are in the search for the truth.I'm not sure there has been a lot of research into this.So maybe it's time we all got together and sort the truth.I mean I don't want to go around saying that one model is this when it may not be.
Any thoughts pictures documents in this matter would be great.Lets find the truth.
